Which activity is likely contraindicated for a client in the early stages of osteoarthritis?

  1. Running

  2. Bicycling

  3. Water aerobics

  4. Elliptical

The correct answer is: Running

Running is likely contraindicated for a client in the early stages of osteoarthritis due to the high-impact nature of this activity. This form of exercise places significant stress on the joints, particularly in the lower body, which can exacerbate pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. In contrast, activities such as bicycling, water aerobics, and using an elliptical machine are generally considered low-impact and can help maintain joint mobility and muscle strength without putting excessive stress on the joints. These alternatives allow for cardiovascular benefits while minimizing discomfort, making them more suitable for individuals in the early stages of osteoarthritis.
